As you all know, although American by birth and very proud of this country and what it stands for, I actually lived in Canada long enough to feel as though it was my real adult home. The majority of our life took place there. Our children grew up there and I am proud of the fact that they grew up with that “out of town” sweetness, which actually is a subject for another article.

As an old-time NCSY adviser attending the national conventions and many shabbatons, I still admire the enormous effect that these programs have had and continue to have on teenagers throughout the world. I visit many communities where I see community leaders, clergy and many baalabatim who had their beginnings at NCSY. We are all in a better place due to the amazing visionary Mr. Harold Boxer, z'l who in 1954 encouraged the OU to invest in Jewish youth and who then, together with Rabbi Pinchas Stolper, z'l and Cantor Chaim Wasserman, z'l blazed a trail to what has now become (I believe) the world's leading youth movement with its myriad trips, programming and daily involvement in the lives of Jewish teenagers throughout the United States and parts of Canada.
